Integration with vBulletin - News Slideshow

...................

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

unrelated question...

Does does it randomly update / change with new image uploads?

you say

It also displays by stickies first, then by date

but not how it updates.

I got lots of stickies in some forums (more than my configured display limit)
...so will it always be showing the same sticky ones in the slideshow?

also, "by date".. meaning most recent first or oldest first? is there a way to make it most recent first (so it updates with each new image upload) or NOT pick stickies?

The guy is a very nice guy. Try to explain the situation to him. He might give you a refund.

I'm trying to get my head around this mod and the Joomla addon... more specifically what this mod does that makes it work with vB.

I use vbPortal so I'm wondering what I would have to do to get the Joomla addon to work on a vbPortal page.

No random. This is a "NEWS" slideshow. It will display the latest news with attachments first. But if you have stickies with attachments, they get priorities.

This mod was created specifically for vbadvanced. I am not familiar with vbportal.

sorry, did not see your stickies question. Simply remove stickies in the order by if you don't want them.

Do you actually have uploaded attachments inthere?

1. done. removed.
2. yup

$forumid=array(2,4,9,12,14,19,16,23,37,55,65,118,1 19,120,124,125);

3. yup..tons!!

I reactivated it so you can see it for yourself in action with the errors:
TSU - Unreal Tournament sniper Clan and UT community)


But here are some specific examples of both issues:

• The second slide (2) from our Screenshot contest
• Here's the last slide (10) which has TONS of attachments. Its all almost ALL attached images actually, but displays the FIRST one from the thread, not the last one: Name the movie (pictoral version)

[Lionel]

sorry, but in the example you provided there are no attachments. I see a big image for an announcement and some signatures images, but no attachments in first thread.

no worries, and sorry as well...another n00b question.
I'm not a coder so I'm completely guessing here:

so, take this part:

PHP Code:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) ORDER by sticky DESC, threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");
while ($news = $db->fetch_array($getnews)) { $myid[]=$news['threadid']; }
$div_id = 1;
foreach ($myid as $threadid) { 


and delete the "ORDER by sticky DESC,"

so I get:

PHP Code:

$getnews = $db->query_read("SELECT threadid from " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE attach !='0' AND forumid in($forumid) threadid DESC LIMIT $limit");
while ($news = $db->fetch_array($getnews)) { $myid[]=$news['threadid']; }
$div_id = 1;
foreach ($myid as $threadid) { 


would that solve the sticky problem?

[Lionel]

only remove (notice the comma?)

sticky DESC,

Now, you seem to have some confusion over what attachments are. Attachments are not images included in your thread from imageshack or somewhere else. Attachments are what you uploaded from Manage Attachments when you create a thread.
